Mom's Mission Impossible

Here's the update on our project list. Stranger has been working on the chicken coop for the last couple of days and estimates it will only take about one more year to get it finished. He and a friend built the floor and walls at the friends house and now he has it hauled up to our house and he's putting it together.

This is what happens when you ask your husband to build a little chicken coop.

Goodbye Clampett Chicken Ranch

Hello Chicken Palace

start the flowers from seed next spring. Go ahead and ask me where the grass is? There isn't any! I may be fooling myself that this yard is going to be easier to take care of than a lawn but at least it's work I enjoy. I do not enjoy mowing and trimming grass. I do know that it will take a lot less water and electricity once it's established so don't argue with me about that.
